Isti Dad استعداد
preparedness (default; the receiver's capacity-to-receive that governs the form of every essential divine self-disclosure)
Isti Dad (استعداد) — Doctrinally load-bearing in Fusus II (Fass Shith). The receiver’s isti’dad governs the form of every essential bestowal; the Real is seen only in the mirror of the receiver’s own preparedness. “Readiness” is forbidden because it imports a volitional register; isti’dad is ontological-receptive, not volitional. Pair with ‘atiyya in the Fass Shith bestowal-typology passages.
